Myriam was my dear friend since 1974 when I came to Fort Myers and started as an RN in Lee County Health Department on her team. We shared the same birthday but not the same year.  She was kind, generous, compassionate, and fun.  Our last birthday celebration was on her 92nd birthday when 5 of us took her to the Olive Garden. We had 6 cupcakes and as expected Miriam got a chocolate one. We sent her home with the last chocolate one. We had such a good time. I treasure all the wonderful times we spend together. Miriam had the special touch on her cards with her crochet rosettes on them. Such a gift it was. I saved many of them.  had tremendous respect for her and love too. I shall miss her greatly but God wanted her home and he called her there on Thursday, July 31, 2015. May she rest in peace in the loving arms of our Savior.Claire johnson
